I agree. I wish I could understand.

Then I remember that stuff like Twilight makes it into best selling territory and I give up trying to understand.

A nice cheese

Self driving and won’t run against a roadnunner fake tunnel

Thank you, it’s so beautiful

Artist?

Change your instance. A lot of the content you see will depend on the instance you are in. ML is notorious for politics and I’m leaving it at that.

But also keep in mind politics are an important part of life and it’s impossible to fully remove that. Especially with a tense political climate as it is right now.

I think it’s part of human nature to long for some connection, to socialize, to discover new things. We humans have been fantasizing with sentient machines for ages. We have been exploring the possibilities of interacting with other sentient species for millennia. The machine trope is just one more in that category.

That’s where the allure is.

Of course the trash you are being sold isn’t truly sentient, but people see stripes and call it a tiger.

As for what makes it so palatable, for most people, if they see something they recognize and relate to, they find it easier to use. LLMs are in particular very easy to use for this reason.

And it’s ok if you don’t like the idea at all. My previous statement was just a generalization, not everyone is equally enamored with the idea of interacting with a different, sentient, and intelligent species.

It’s one of my favorite comics in years, it’s been sitting in my downloaded gallery for a while

Native Spanish speaker here. They are genuinely dumb comics.

Expressing my appreciation of this artist’s improvement, of course. Comparing the current work with the majority of previous work.

I’m also fine with hot stuff in comics as long as the artist doesn’t try to gaslight me. Oglaf is actually witty, the sexualized stuff often has narrative relevance or is part of the characters personalities, and there are plenty of characters who aren’t sexualised that balance things out. It doesn’t raise unnecessary questions. And to take things one step further, Oglaf shows some variety of body shapes in the comics, making them visually interesting. The characters feel unique.

Jago otoh, just likes to draw the same thing, and the skimpy outfits are more often than not just plain irrelevant to the comic’s point. Fair enough if that’s what he likes, each to their own, but I’m not buying it when he tries to sell me some sort of moral high ground. Go take a hike (to Jago, not to you).

Omg the artist didn’t draw her showing her underwear with an impossibly low cut jean that should nearly reveal her vagina, and reduced the cup size from the usual D to a C, with no cleavage!

It’s almost as if now that he’s dropped the pointless and ridiculously skimpy outfits the readers can actually see the point of the comic strip! Great progress

Essentially as others said, because you need to invest heavily in your gut and metabolism to get enough energy out of grass alone. You don’t evolve into what you want, you evolve into what you can while you are pressured to do so. There is currently no pressure to rely solely on grass, that pressure hasn’t been on us for millions of years. Our foods may be trickier to find but on average they yield more energy compared to grass.

But don’t get me wrong. It’s a valid strategy. Our ancestors did have the window of opportunity at some point, and they took it… We were something more like rats back then, the grass eaters niche had room. Grass was everywhere. And our cousins back then adapted and spent practically the whole day foraging for grass in order to get by. But you know what also was everywhere? Trees. And our ratlike ancestors that were more inclined to climb, jump, and spot predators from above found it easier to stick to the omnivore diet.

Adapting to trees lets you move into places with less grass… Like jungles and swamps. And while you are there for a couple million years you will have other problems to solve, problems that require wits, sharp vision, and social skills. You don’t have time to forage 18hrs every day and grass isn’t as abundant here anyway.

If you don’t rely solely on grass you will probably fare better during winter. Especially during those ice ages. By the time you have grass as an option again you are pretty much an ape and pivoting back to it makes no sense.

We eat the seeds, I presume OP refers to the leaves/blades of grass which are also present in species that aren’t cereals

Is it possible to scratch your nails against glass and make that screech? I’ve seen plenty of the chalkboard screechers, never in my life a single glass one

Amazing, thanks

Lol Don Juan…

Edit : do you have a source for this? Curious about the year and country it was made. It’s got a nice style

The ratio is gold
